Barry McGuigan tells Late Late Show he's taking part in Charlie Bird's climb in honour of his daughter Nika

Barry McGuigan appeared on The Late Late Show ahead of his participation in Charlie Bird's charity fundraiser which will see him and countless others join the RTE legend in scaling Croagh Patrick bright and early tomorrow.

The climb is in aid of both Motor Neurone Disease and Pieta House and has already raised in excess of €1m.

The Clones Cyclone spoke with Ryan Tubridy, who will also be making the trek, about how his tragic daughter Nika is a source of inspiration for him in motivating him to take part in what will be an arduous enough climb in poor conditions.
